Somebody in Washington please step up and be a real man (or real woman)! Regardless of party, stand up for what’s right! Be a patriot! Be a hero! STOP President Obama’s budget! STOP IT! Do whatever it takes to STOP IT! We the people cannot afford it. Nor can our children or grandchildren or great grandchildren — which is exactly who will be paying for it. We the people did not — knowingly or intelligently — vote in favor of a socialist takeover of our economy. So STOP IT! NOW! STOP THIS BUDGET!

Grab your pitchforks, people! Figuratively speaking, of course. Rather, grab your laptops, your iPhones, your Blackberries and contact your senators and representatives and tell them to STOP THIS INSANE BUDGET!

It won’t work. We don’t have the money. Did I say it won’t work? Duh! WTF? People, look at your own personal checkbooks and tell me, is it possible to SPEND your way out of debt? The answer is not just “no,” but HELL NO! Again, I say, WTF?!

STOP THE MADNESS!
STOP OBAMA’S BUDGET!
STOP THE MADNESS!
STOP OBAMA’S BUDGET!
STOP THE MADNESS!
STOP OBAMA’S BUDGET!
STOP THE MADNESS!
STOP OBAMA’S BUDGET!
STOP THE MADNESS!
STOP OBAMA’S BUDGET!
STOP THE MADNESS!
STOP OBAMA’S BUDGET!
STOP THE MADNESS!
STOP OBAMA’S BUDGET!

STOP IT!

My President

I just read Mike Huckabee’s “My President” piece. So let me get this straight: Up until now, black moms could not tell their children that “there are no limits to their opportunities in America” or that “their pathway to the top is not necessarily limited to sports or entertainment, but might be through education, hard work and public service”?

That’s absolutely crazy talk!

What about Clarence Thomas, Shelby Steele, Condi Rice, Walter Williams or Thomas Sowell? What about the tons of good role models who aren’t famous but live all around us?

Attitudes like this only fuel the argument that Mr. Obama was elected precisely because he is black. Mr. Huckabee’s letter almost says out loud that, hey isn’t it great that Obama was elected “in spite of it” (quotations mine).

Sorry, I voted against Obama not because he is black, but because I don’t agree with his beliefs, proposed policies or his stance on most issues. I don’t care what color he is. And neither should anyone else.

Brother’s keeper

Barack Obama said in a speech, “I am my brother’s keeper, I am my sister’s keeper! …” He says that phrase sums up what America should be, and that he is the man to make that happen. He just needs your vote, and mine. Hmm. Sounds noble, in theory anyway. I have no disagreement with the idea.

Now let’s look at reality. Obama’s brother lives in an unheated, unplumbed hut in Africa and sustains himself on mere pennies a day. Hmm. His aunt (whom he mentioned favorably in his autobiography) lives in a slum in Boston, a ground-floor flat usually reserved for people who are destitute. She is old and frail and walks with the help of a cane. She’s also an illegal alien.

Is there not a clear disconnect here? Obama says A, yet he lives Z. How can anyone trust such a man with a vote for President? You may like what he says — some of it sounds good — but you have no basis whatsoever on which to believe he will actually do what he says. In fact, he’s proven the exact opposite to be true.
